First prosthetic limb designed for women: ‘I feel liberated’
The first truly anatomically correct, high-tech prosthetic limb specifically designed for women, small-framed men and young people has been created by a British company.
The bionic hand, created using Formula 1 and military technology, is based on the accurate skeletal structure of a real hand.

Nicky Ashwell, 29, who was born without a right hand, and Carl Chatfield from Steeper joined Victoria to demonstrate the arm.
